The livestream is now also a podcast! Join Jason, Jordan, and Brian as they talk homebrewing with professionals across the Michigan craft beer industry (and sometimes a little out of state!) The show has a heavy emphasis on homebrewing and brewing beer/mead/cider/seltzer in general. We're passionate about the hobby of homebrewing and want everyone to be as successful as they can be. We started this show during quarantine in attempt to satiate our desire to talk about brewing with people while club meetings all went to virtual or were cancelled all together. Sometimes we stray off topic, sometimes the audio isn't great, sometimes we drink a little too much... But it's what we like to do in real life and so we decided to just do it live instead and see if anyone wanted to join in, which people have! Podcasts will appear within 48 hours of our live show ending. Catch our live shows most Mondays at 7:30pm EST. We stream to Youtube, Facebook, and Twitch!

This week we are going to be hanging out with Dana Wagner from Discover Kalamazoo and John Liberty from West Michigan Beer Tours to talk about the 2021 Kalamazoo Craft Beverage Week (formerly known as Kalamazoo Beer Week), and how they have modified the event this year to work within the current precautions and restrictions. Kalamazoo Craft Beverage Week will be kicking off on January 29th and will run through February 6th. The event has been expanded this year to include more Kalamazoo makers, adding local distilleries and wineries to join in with the breweries and celebrate the craft beverage industry as a whole. To give us a sneak peak of this year’s KBW, we are also going to be joined by Kevin and Michael Christensen, and Kevin Homan from Final Gravity Brewing! Final Gravity will have a few events taking place during KBW at their Kalamazoo location, and is also close to completing an expansion of their Decatur location, so there will be lots of cool stuff to chat about there. Grab a beer and come hang out with us!
